FURTHER TRAINING FOR MEDICAL PROVIDERS
The Military Medical Humanitarian Assistance Course (MMHAC) is a two-day course focusing on understanding the unique health environment and recognizing and managing those conditions consistently associated with high mortality among the most vulnerable populations (primarily children) in these settings: diarrhea and dehydration, malnutrition, epidemic measles, malaria, and respiratory infections.
Course scenarios focus on the role that US military medical assets would likely play as early responders to a humanitarian emergency with limited medical resources.
